Create add-on file for manual installation

Opened this issue · 3 comments

Can you create an add-on file for manual installation, so that this add-on could be also installed on PCs that don't have access to internet? Thank you.

I think this can be done by running paver dist_anki_addon. It should create a zip file that you can then use a USB device to transfer to a computer without internet.

Actually I found another solution.
In Anki, in the workstation where you have the add-on installed (from internet), go to Tools -> Add-ons, choose the relevant add-on and click on "View files". It will open the directory of the add-on, something like:
C:\Users\you-user-name\AppData\Roaming\Anki2\addons21\1964372878

Copy the entire folder (1964372878 in this case).

In the computer that doesn't access to internet, after you have installed Anki, locate the "addons21" folder and paste there the "1964372878" folder. Reopen Anki and the add-on should be installed.

Glad you figured out something that works. I'm going to add this to my todo with a fairly low priority.
